Bill Moyers and Wendell Berry Expose Factory Farms

This weekend, legendary environmental writer and activist Wendell Berry leaves his Kentucky farm for an inspiring conversation, and rare TV interview, with veteran journalist Bill Moyers on Moyers & Company. In an excerpt from that conversation below, Berry talks about how humans live at the expense of other creatures, making it our responsibility to treat those animals “with the minimum of violence.”

“It’s always great to see an esteemed figure like Wendell Berry sticking up for farm animals and so eloquently drawing that vital connection between respecting animals, our environment and ourselves,” says ASPCA Farm Animal Welfare Campaign Director Suzanne McMillan.

Food animals live VERY short lives. There is no way to delude yourselves that this is ever O. K. or humane. You will NEVER make animal farming humane. You KILL them. Don't try to cover up this horror under a banner of kindness.

Go the limit...NO VIOLENCE, otherwise this is bull shit. The ultimate violence is depriving another being of their life. Nobody has the right to do this to another. Eating animal cadavers is NOT essential to human life and is destroying the planet in so many ways so this conversation is a very bad joke on the animals.
